Criteria

This is how the article fairs against the GA criteria:

Well written: ✓ Pass. There were only a few slight issues that I took care of myself.
Verifiability: The sources appear reliable (mostly making up well known music-based magazine sites, news sites and billboard sites. However, there are the odd ref issues in the comments below.
Broadness in coverage: ✓ Pass. Stays focus on topic.
Neutral: ✓ Pass. Article represents the topics fairly, no bias.
Stability: ✓ Pass. No serious recent edit conflicts.
Images: ✓ Pass. One weird non-free image of what looks like Rihanna vomiting "tubby tustard", has the appropriate tags and fair use rationale. Other free images are also relevent to the topic of the article.

Comments

Refs 2 and 5 are the same.

"Rap-Up reported that the video was reminiscent of the lead single from Rihanna's previous album Loud, "Only Girl (In the World)", which also featured Rihanna in the state of nature in a number of scenes including fields and hillsides.[8][9]" The references do not back up that statement, as the articles were published before the release of "We Found Love", and they do not mention the song either.

Where in this article does Jocelyn Vena say that the video's male lead resembles Rihanna's ex?

In the "Britney Spears' "Criminal"" section, you might need to elaborate who this "St Asaph" is. Like "It was noted by Katherine St Asaph of Popdust that..." or something.

"although most pop stars release videos that draw from their personal lives, they do not make the viewer uncomfortable. The same cannot be said for Spears and Rihanna, and it does not matter if they themselves have moved on from past situations, because the discussion around them has not. St Asaph also expressed that neither Spears or Rihanna said much about the parallels to their lives, but that they do not need to: their videos are much more effective than anything they could reveal in an interview." Much of this sounds like a quote. I think adding quotations now and then wouldn't do any harm.
It's not a quote. Calvin • ^{Watch n' Learn}

Overall, the article is in decent shape, and a nice (although rather "trippy", being a theme of the video) read. I will place the article on hold for seven days. -- Matthew RD 17:46, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for dealing with the issues. I will now pass the article. -- Matthew RD 18:23, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
